Tile Floors Laid Thirty Centuries Ago Found Perfect 


ILE floors and walls are not a modern invention. In excavating among the 

ruins of historic Egyptian buildings erected more than three thousand years 
ago, tile floors were discovered in practically perfect condition, as beautiful 
in design and rich in coloring as when first laid. Much 
of the marble in these ancient buildings had crumbled 
into mere piles of'dust, but the baked clay tiles defied the 
action of the destroying elements and remained intact 
through more than thirty centuries. 


The history of the oldest Egyptian civilization comes 
down to us mostly from the inscriptions on the tile walls 
and tile memorial tablets. These, too, withstood the 
ravages of time, and from them we read the history of 
the days of the Ptolemies and Pharaohs. All of which 
is proof that a floor or wall material more durable than 
properly laid tile does not exist. 


Tiled Kitchens Common in Europe. 


In Europe tile won early recognition as the ideal material for floors and walls 
and was in common use hundreds of years before the first tile for this purpose 
was made in America, and down to the present time tourists returning from 
Holland praise the sweet, clean tiled kitchens of that country. Under our modern 
system of selling, the same perfect, sanitary tiled kitchens and bathrooms so much 
admired in Europe are now placed within the reach of every home builder in the 
United States. 


Hotels Find Tile Economical. 


One of the largest hotels in the world was recently 
opened to the public in Chicago and a tour of inspection 
through that truly marvelous institution reveals the most 
extensive use of tile for both service and ornamentation. 
In the mammoth kitchens tile is used for floors, walls, 
ceilings, tables and refrigerators. No other material could 
be so easily kept in a perfectly clean and sanitary condition 
so that visitors can be shown through the kitchens at all 
times. 


Tile in the Modern Home. 


se sc : That tile floors and walls fill every sanitary require- 

ment is proven beyond a doubt by the almost exclusive 
use of this material in modern hospitals, hotels and other public buildings. The 
extensive use, however, of tile floors and walls in the average home has until 
recently been almost prohibited by the high prices charged by combinations of 
manufacturers and the necessity of employing an expensive expert tilewright. 
There never was any question as to the desirability of tile floors and walls. It 
was only the high cost that kept from tile its deserved share of popularity. 


We Solve the Problem for You. 


This high cost problem we solved just as we have many similar difficulties in 
other lines of merchandise. We have eliminated every unnecessary item of 
expense in the manufacture and sale of floor and wall tile. We have made public 
a really simple plan by which any average mechanic can lay a beautiful, durable 
tile floor or wainscoting, doing away with the necessity of employing an expensive 
skilled tilewright. This very desirable floor and wall material is thus placed 
within reach of home builders and building contractors at about one-half the 
previous prevailing prices. 


We Ship Promptly. 


We aim to have on hand at the tile works at all times a reasonable stock of 
the patterns shown in this book. On all ordinary size orders we can pack the tile 
and deliver to the railroad company within a week, but on larger orders and orders 
for new or changed designs it is necessary, of course, to allow us more time. I1n 
every case we give our best attention to orders.

FLOOR AND WALL TILE 


HAT is tile? Briefly, it is baked clay. Clays of various kinds are dried, pulverized, 
sifted and mixed according to carefully prepared formulae with the addition of 
chemicals and minerals, and the powdered mixture is fed into heavy die presses 

and stamped into tiles of various geometrical shapes. These raw tiles are then put into a 
kiln and subjected to a heat of 2,000 to 3,000 degrees. The result is a product as hard and 
non-porous as glass, in fact some of it is a form of glass itself. The mixing of the clays 
and minerals is a very particular operation and many varieties of tiles are produced by 
skillful ceramists. Glazed tiles are coated and put through the kiln a second time. 


In these many operations there is, of course, considerable waste due to breakage, 
warping, chipping or cracking and it is a skillful tile maker indeed who can run his 
business at a profit and yet put his tile on the market at a price within the reach of any 
except the very wealthy. When you add to this expensive process of manufacture the 
big profits of the jobbers and dealers and the high wages of the tile layers, you can 
readily understand why tile has long been classed as a luxury, The use of tile for floors 
and walls is most essential where cleanliness and sanitary conditions are necessary or 
desirable. We have long realized this and have felt that tile should be placed within the 
reach of all. We have made this possible by our methods of selling direct to the con- 
sumer, adding but one profit to the actual cost of manufacture. We were the first firm 
to offer tile direct to the user and in doing so we established a new era in the tile 
industry. In this catalog we offer you first quality floor and wall tile at prices so low 
that you cannot afford to do without tile floors and walls in your home or place of 
business. 


Tiles Are Easily Laid 


The floor tiles are made in 34-inch squares, 1-inch and 1%-inch hexagons, 
and 13-16-inch rounds. They are pasted on sheets of paper, about 2 feet long and 1 foot 
wide, to facilitate the work of laying. The design is all carefully worked out at the 
factory so that the laying of the sheets of tile is a simple matter. We give full directions 
for the work on pages 30 and 31, so that anyone can do a first class job witnout previous 
experience. In fact, most of our customers lay their own tile without having seen the 
work done before. In computing the amount of floor tile to order always allow a foot 
or two of waste for fitting the design to the room. 


Should you have any difficulty in figuring the amount of tile to order, just write us a 
letter, enclosing a careful pencil sketch of the floors to be tiled, and we will assist you. 
If you are putting up a new building you can send us your blue prints or plans and we 
will advise you as to the use of tile in the structure and quote you prices. Contractors 
and builders can make money installing our tile in their buildings. A store with a tile 
floor and a tile vestibule in front will bring more rent, and a house with tile in the 
vestibule, bathroom, kitchen, and on the porch will sell for a great deal more. 


Terms and How to Order 


Our terms are cash with the order. All orders are packed specially to meet the 
requirements of each separate floor or wall job and it is necessary, therefore, that we have 
a drawing or plan in every case, showing the accurate measurements. The more care you 
use in preparing the drawing, the more accurately we can fill your order. Make remit- 
tance by express or postoffice money order, bank draft, currency in a registered letter 
or personal check. If in doubt about the exact amount, send what you think will be 
enough and we will return any excess.

Tile in the Bathroom 


The bathroom more than all other rooms must be- kept clean and sanitary. The 
paramount virtue of tile in the bathroom is its imperviousness to moisture and dirt, the 
breeders of germs. Water splashed on a tile floor cannot soak in, and dirt on the floor or 
walls does not penetrate the tile but is easily wiped off with a damp cloth. . Everyone is 
familiar with the superiority of white porcelain bathtubs and lavatories over the old 
painted tin tubs and marble wash bowls so common a- generation ago. You are also 
familiar with the demand for open plumbing. The same conditions that required the 
abandonment of painted fixtures and boxed in pipes demand the use of tile floors 
and walls. The idea of having a white tiled bathroom is the same as having a white 


porcelain tub. When all dirt can be seen it is an easy matter to keep the room and 
fixtures clean. 


White is of course the usual color, but often a design with some color in it, as for 
instance, blue or green, is used. These colors make a nice contrast with the white and 


are cool, clean colors in themselves. Whether or not you use any color is, of course, a 
matter of personal taste. 


The use of tile is not confined to the bathroom or kitchen. Its beautiful colors, the 
ease with which it is kept clean and the fact that it practically never wears out or needs 
repairing, make it very popular for general use. It is the finest flooring in the world 
; for hospital operating rooms, barber 
shops, meat markets, ice cream parlors, 
dairies, drug stores, groceries, power 
plants and engine rooms; hotels, church 
and theater lobbies; depots, waiting 
rooms, restaurants, lunch rooms and 
halls and corridors in public buildings of 
all kinds. It is also ideal for porch and 
veranda floors, for dining and living 
rooms, and we have even sold it for 
bedrooms.

How refreshing is the appearance of a cool, shady tiled porch floor on a warm Summer day. 


Ceramic Tile for Porches 


The use of Ceramic Roman Mosaic Tile for porch and veranda floors is becoming 
more and more popular. The tile meets every demand required of a good porch floor 
and has many points in its favor not possessed by any other material. It is absolutely 
impervious to moisture and is superior to cement, for almost any design or color scheme 
required can be worked out with the many colored small tiles. 

For designs especially suitable for porch floors we invite your attention to pages 9, 
10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20, 21, 22 and 23. When properly laid in good Portland cement 
it will withstand frost and all other actions of the weather. In large cities ceramic tile is 
largely used for sidewalks in front of stores, theaters and restaurants. Previous to the 
time we first offered ceramic tile in our catalogs a tile porch floor was a luxury enjoyed 
by oniy the most wealthy, but now by means of our methods of buying and sell- 
ing we have placed this perfect material within the reach of all. One of the chief 
advantages of ceramic tile for porch and veranda floors is the ease with which it can be 
kept clean. An occasional mopping with soap and water is all that is required. The tile 
being fully vitreous is non-absorbent and for this reason the dirt needs only to be wiped 
off from the surface. Scrubbing is unnecessary. 

The additional first cost of a tile floor is more than made up in the small amount 
of work required to keep it clean. We have a tile floor in the main lobby of our store, 
and ten thousand or more people walk over it every day. Onrainy 
and muddy mornings our employes track 
in a great deal of dirt on to the floor, but 
after they are all in, a porter with a 
bucket of water and a mop makes the 
floor perfectly clean and white in a few 
moments. This floor has been in con- 
stant use for over nine years and there 
is no sign of wear visible. The stone 
steps outside have had deep depressions 
worn in them in the same length of time. 

Remember, a tile floor will practically 
NEVER wear out.

The designs shown in this book are reproductions of our Ceramic Mosaics, and

Border, 13 stones (10 inches) wide. 
(Border only, when sold alone, 46 cents per lineal foot.) 


Cleaning tile floors is a pleasure, not work. And they stay clean, too, so much 
longer than any other kind. Back breaking scrubbing is forgotten when you have 
tile floors in your kitchen, bathroom, vestibule or place of business. ‘The cost of this 
ideal floor has been greatly reduced by our system of selling, and we give you complete 
instructions so that an expensive expert tilewright is not required for the work of laying 
your tile floor. 


The color scheme of the design you like can be changed to suit your ideas at 
prices according to colors selected.

Border, 16 stones (14 inches) wide. 
(Border only, when sold alone, 53 cents per lineal foot.) 

The border of this design is mitered at all corners. There are no separate corner 
pieces papered at the tile works. All mitering must be done on the job and an extra 
square foot of tile should be ordered for each corner to allow for waste in fitting. 

If you are a progressive business man you have probably given serious thought 
to the dust continually rising from your wood floor. You have probably tried a 
dozen schemes to prevent it. You never really succeeded unless you put in a tile 
floor. That is the only real cure for the dust nuisance. 

We can furnish you any of these designs in color schemes of your own selection 
at prices according to colors selected.

Are you keeping your place of business up to the times? Is yours one of those 
clean, sweet stores that customers like to visit often? If so, you already have a nice 
tile floor and the trouble you had with the old wood floor is a memory of the past. 
If yours is the other kind, however, you would do well to order a new tile floor now. 
It will prove one of the best paying investments you ever made. 

You are not confined to the colors shown. Select the design you like best and tell 
BS what color scheme you want. We will quote lowest price based on the colors you 
select.

Just plain soap and water and a few minutes’ healthful exercise occasionally with 
the mop is all that is necessary to keep your tile floor bright and shining. The old 
wood floor takes nearly a half day of hard scrubbing and is dirty again before the 
day is over.‘ The longer the tile is used the brighter and prettier it becomes. 


Pages 30 and 31 give full information about how easily a tile floor can be laid.

If you prefer a different border from the one shown on the floor design of your 
selection, you may choose any other appropriate border and we will furnish it in any 
color scheme you select. This may make a slight difference in the price, owing to 
the difference in price of colors. If you will write telling us just what design and 


color scheme you want and the size of the room or space you wish to cover, we will 
quote you the very lowest price.

This rich design is especially suitable for porches where it is desirable to avoid the

Design 683M1010—Wide Border. 
Design 63M1012—Narrow Border. 


Shipped from the tile works in Ohio, from which point customer pays the freight. 


Price, including either border, per-square foot..( 4... 28. ee See 45c 


Wide border, 15 stones (1 foot) wide. Narrow border, 8 stones (6% inches) wide. 
(Border only, when sold alone, 45 cents per lineal foot for the wide design and 
40 cents per lineal foot for the narrow.) 


Stern, strong design in black and white meets in harmony with any surrounding 
colors, and is much sought for use in public rooms. We recommend the wide border 
for large floors and the narrow border for smaller floor space. While residential rooms 
call for the brighter colors shown on the preceding pages, yet where color relief is not 
desired we recommend this black and white mosaic. 


See pages 30 and 31 and learn how you can lay the tile yourself.

Measure in the tile at our wonderfully low prices of 28 to 53 cents per square foot.

A Fully Tiled Bathroom Is a Thing of Beauty, but More Important 
Than Its Beauty Are Its Perfect Sanitary Qualities. 


You owe it to your children to tile your bathroom. 


Dr. G. B. Young, Former Health Commissioner, Chicago, said, in the Chicago Daily 
Tribune: 


“Tf there is one room in the home which should be well fur- 
nished, that room is the bathroom. If you have any money to 
spend, do not put it into expensive furniture for the parlor; spend 
it in bathroom construction and furnishing. 


“Tiled floors and wainscoting are non-absorbent. easily kept 
clean, and in them yermin can find no abiding place. The attractive, 
well furnished bathroom is a good habit former for the children.” 


A tiled wall in the bathroom or kitchen will cost a little more in the first place 
than plastered walls, but tile is the cheapest in the end, for when once properly set it 
practically never needs to be repaired or refinished. Send us a sketch of your bathroom 
showing the location of all doors, windows and offsets in the walls and giving accurate 


dimensions and we will gladly advise you just what the total cost of the necessary 
tile would be.

WALL TILE 


A Fall Line of White Wall Tile With Bases and Caps 


W ; are offering first quality white wall tile in standard sizes with a com- 
plete layout of base, cap and angles at reasonable prices. We guarantee 

our wall tile to be the equal of any. We give full directions so that you 
can lay it yourself or you can have it done by any good cement worker. You 
can now realize the dream you have undoubtedly had many times of some day 
having a fully tiled bathroom, kitchen or vestibule. Everyone who builds or 
remodels a home can now afford to put in tile floors and walls, at least in the 
bathroom and kitchen. If you have any difficulty at all in figuring the cost 
from the prices we quote, just send us your plans, blue prints or pencil sketches, 
tell us which style of cap and base to figure on, and how high up on the walls 
you want the tile to come, and we will advise you just what the complete cost 
of the tile will be. 


Pure white is usually used for bathroom walls and floors, but a touch of 
color can be added if desired by introducing one or more rows of blue or green 
tile. The whole wainscoting can be had in colored tile also, when wanted, 
but there would be a slight delay in making shipment, as the bases and caps 
are carried in stock in white only. It would take about thirty days extra to 
enamel them in colors and put them through the kiln. 


On the opposite page we show a suggestion for relieving the solid white- 
ness of a tiled wainscoting by using one row of blue tile. This increases the 
cost only slightly, and for those who do not like the solid pure white effect 
it produces just enough variation to make the wall attractive. Still more 
color could be added by using our floor No. 63M1015, shown on page 5, instead 
of the pure white floor. 


How to Figure Wall Tile 


In figuring the price of wainscoting take the entire distance around the 
room and deduct for door openings. This will give you the number of feet 
of base and cap to order. Add the corner angles and stops and several pieces 
of the straight base or cap for cutting. Remember, the base and cap come in 
6-inch lengths only. The wall tile is figured in actual number of square feet 
needed and a small quantity, say a foot or two, to allow for cutting at the 
corners. Any combination of base and cap can be used and any of the standard 
sizes of wall tile will go nicely with it. 


The interior and exterior angles of the cap and base are made for right 
angle corners only. For other corners, pieces of the straight cap and base 
must be mitered. This must be done on the job so that a perfect fit can be 
made. We cannot cut the miters at the factory.

The right and left stop pieces must be used wherever there is an opening in the 
wall, so that the base and cap may finish neatly against the wood trim. Cap No. 420 and 
Base No. 430 do not have right and left stop pieces, as they can be butted up to the door 
and window trim on each side and will not project out beyond the thickness of the 
casing. The corner lips are used to make a perfectly sanitary round joint at the corners. 
They make a neater, better corner than the angle bead and cove. They should be laid 
alternately on opposite sides of the corner, so as to give a dovetailed appearance and 


match the broken joint method of setting wall tile. 


The Angle Bead No. 440 and the Cove No. 445 can also be used for making sanitary 


corners.

Instructions for Laying Ceramic Tile Floor 


In laying Ceramic Mosaic Tile Floors in concrete it is first necessary that enough 
space be allowed for concreting and the cement bed on which the tile is laid. This 
requires about 3% inches. In order to prepare for concrete the floors should be 
lowered between the joists as illustrated in the following plan: 


CEVEL 


STRIPS 


Xe 
Kn 


The concrete to be filled in 2% inches of this space is made of a mixture consisting 
of the following material: 


CRUSHED STONE CONCRETE. GRAVEL CONCRETE. 
Five parts of crushed stone. Five parts of sand and gravel. 
Two parts of sharp sand or creek sand. One part of cement. 


One part of cement. 


The sand and gravel concrete.makes the best concrete bed, and is easily obtained 
in any district outside of large cities where crushed stone sometimes is obtained at less 
cost. When sand and gravel or crushed stone are not obtainable, good cinders can be 
used and will also make a satisfactory concrete bed, but they should be thoroughly 
screened and washed to remove all ashes. One of the most important features of laying 
tile floors on concrete is to have the foundation properly prepared. It is necessary to 
mix well this concrete and it should be thoroughly dampened and tamped. After the 
concrete is laid or filled in 24% inches thick, wood strips 1 inch thick by 2 inches wide 
and 10 feet long, called furring strips, should be laid on this concrete and leveled in 
the length and across the floor by the use of an ordinary level and leveling rod as 
illustrated above. After the concrete has set, a cement bed 1 inch in thickness mixed 
in proportion of two parts of sand, one part of cement and a very little slacked lime 
with it should be prepared. The lime is to keep the cement from setting too quickly, but 
if the job is small and the tile can be easily laid before the cement takes its initial set, 
no lime at all need be used. If a large floor is being laid, only about 50 square feet 
should be prepared at one time.

Showing Method of shine Sheets of Floor Tile 


You are now ready to lay the tile which should have been previously laid out on the floor, 
bottom side up, to facilitate the finding of the proper sheets. Start at one side of the room 
and lay the border first, paper side up. Lay the corner pieces and then work the border from 
the corners to the middle, so that if the space will not permit the 
design to work out evenly the break or mismatch in the border 
will come in the middle instead of near the corner, where it would 
be more noticeable. The body sheets are about 2 feet long by 
1 foot wide and must be laid so as to bring the dots or figures in 
straight lines. It is necessary to tear the paper and use a half 
sheet in starting the body of some of the designs. When the 
sheets of tile are down, level them with a block and hammer. Then 
remove the paper by moistening it with a sponge or brush and 
pulling it off gently. When the paper is all off it is again neces- 
sary to go over the floor with the block, simply rubbing it to 
make sure none of the little tiles are tipped up or depressed. This 
part of the operation should be very carefully done, for when the 
cement once sets it is very difficult to make any corrections. While the cement is still fresh, remove 
enough along the line where the setter ends his work to leave a perfect edge so that when starting 
the next section it will be an easy matter to connect the two. 


When the entire floor is laid it is necessary to fill the joints at the surface, as the under 
side of the tile has only been pressed into the cement below, which rose partly toward the 
surface of the tile. To accomplish this, Portland cement mixed with water to the consistency of 
thick cream is floated over the entire surface and rubbed into the joints with a flat trowel, allowing 
it to set from fifteen minutes to not over twenty minutes, when some sawdust should be thrown 
over the entire surface and the cement removed by rubbing well the sawdust on the surface of 
the tile. This will give you a finished Ceramic Mosaic floor, ideal in every respect, clean and easy 
to keep e¢lean. 


Following these rules, instructions and diagrams, a tile floor can be laid in the most approved 
manner without the expensive services of a tilewright. 


Tile Cut-Nippers. 


Very Handy for Cutting Ceramic Tile. 


It is often necessary to cut some of the small ceramic 
tiles in fitting the floor close up around pipes or fixtures. 
This cutting can be done with a sharp cold chisel and 
hammer, but is much more easily accomplished with these 
tile nippers. They are also handy in cutting mitered 
corners for borders. Only right angled or square corners 
are papered at the tile works and all other corners must 
be cut and worked out on the job so as to make a 
perfect fit. 


These cut-nippers, with the exception of the jaws, are 
made of drop forged steel, casehardened and finely finished. 
The jaws are made of a high grade steel nicely tempered 
and will cut the tile easily, quickly and neatly.

Setting Wall Tile 


Setting wall tile is, after all, not a very difficult proposition, provided simple and 
definite instructions are given which can be easily followed. While the general method 
of laying wall tile is the same, yet the details vary according to the condition and nature 
of the walls to be tiled. 

When tile are to be laid on old brick walls all the plaster must be removed and the 
mortar partly raked out of the joints of the brickwork. On new brick walls the joints 
should not be pointed. When tile are to be placed on studding, the studding should 
be well braced by filling in between the studding with brick set in mortar to the 
height of the tile work, or this brickwork may be omitted and extra studding put in and 
thoroughly bridged so as to have as little spring as possible, and then this studding 
can be covered with sheet metal lathing. Either of the above methods will be found 
satisfactory, and can be used according to convenience, but it should be remembered 
that tile must never be placed on wood lath or on old plaster. The brick walls must 
be wet with water and then covered with a rough coating of cement mortar composed 
of one part of the best grade of Portland cement and two parts of clean, sharp sand.

Figure A. 


The mortar should not be too wet, but should be rather stiff and should always be 
used fresh, as it loses strength if it is allowed to set before it is used. When tile are 
placed on metal lathing, hair should be mixed with the cement mortar to make it adhere 
more closely. The cement mortar used in setting the wall tile should be % inch thick, 
or enough to make an even and true surface to within 1 inch of the intended finished 
surface of the tile when tile 14 inch thick is used, which will allow a space of % inch 
for the cement mortar, composed as above, for rough coating the walls. The face of 
the cement foundation should be roughly scratched and allowed to harden for at least 
one day before commencing to lay the tile. The tile must always be thoroughly soaked 
in water before setting, which makes the cement unite to the tile. 


PLACING THE TILE. Guide strips are placed on the wall parallel and about 2 
feet apart. Whena cove base is used it can be set first, but it must be well supported 
on the concrete. The strips must be placed plumb and even with the intended finished 
wall line. For illustration of the above see Figure A. There are two ways of setting 
the wall tile, and the one to be used must be decided by the person doing the work. 
This, of course, will depend somewhat upon the condition of the wall, etc., but in 
ordinary cases either way can be used with first class results. The two methods are 


known as “floating wall tile’ and “buttering wall tile,” and we describe the two methods 
in detail as follows: 


FLOATING WALL TILE. The mortar is spread between the guide strips for 
about 5 feet at a time and leveled with a screed notched at each end to allow for the 
thickness of the tile. The tile are placed in position and tamped until they are firmly 
united to the cement and level with the strips. When the space between the strips is 


Page Thirty-Two SEARS, ROEBUCK AND CO., Chicago 


complete, which should be one side of the room, the strips are removed and the 
work continued in the same manner until completed. When the tile are all set, the 
joints must be carefully washed out and neatly filled with thinly mixed pure Keene’s 
cement, and all cement remaining on the tile carefully wiped off. 


BUTTERING WALL TILE. The cement mortar is spread on the back of each 
tile and the tile placed on the wall and tapped gently until firmly united to the wall and 
plumb with the guide strips. When the tile are all set, the joints must be carefully 
washed out and filled with Keene’s cement, and the tile cleaned as directed before. 


When fixtures of any kind are to be placed on the tile work, such as plumbing in 
the bathroom, provision should be made for them by fastening wood strips on the 
wall before the first coating of cement mortar is put on, the strips to be the same 
thickness as the rough coating. The tile can be placed over the strips by covering 
them with cement mortar, and when thoroughly set, holes can be bored in the tile for 
fastening the fixtures without injuring the tiling. 


To cut glazed wall tile it should be scratched on the surface with a sharp tool at 
the place where it is desired to be cut, and then gently tapped on the back opposite 
the scratch. 


CAUTION. Lhere should be no pounding about wall tile work for several days after 
it is laid, in order to give the tile a good chance to set firmly. 
The cement mortar % inch thick weighs about 6% pounds to the square foot, and 
wall tile about 6 pounds to the square foot. 


_ We have tried in this small space to give short and clear instructions for laying 
tile, and we hope we have accomplished our purpose. If, however, there are any 
further points which you would like to have explained, do not hesitate to write us.
